It is a cause for concern that the Tamil and English media have published news about my vehicle permit in accordance with their wims and fancies.
Although I was eligible for $60,000 I was issued with a $40,000. My permit was returned for rectification and the matter stands there as issue of permits are suspended.

Although the Sinhala media reported the matter correctly, Tamil and English media have given half baked and distorted news about my vehicle permit.

If any media wants to criticize my actions let them directly criticize me, without trying make cheap politics out in matters like this, the CM has said.
